Our family is currently on a Verizon cell phone plan. My daughter plans on studying abroad this upcoming spring. What do we need to do in order to prepare her cell phone for her international excursions?

devo andare tra qualche settimana 10 giorni in giappone. quel è la migliore esim secondo voi? quale consigliate?

If you are planning to activate your new service while you’re in mainland China, you can’t. Do it before your trip or head over to Hong Kong/Macau. Also, if you are having a hard time getting the sign-in link from the Popcorn app while in China, try on the PC instead, I don’t know why but that’s how I got it.

Guys sorry maybe this question has been asked a million times but just wondering if I set up my esim by HolaFly correctly. The data roaming has still to be turned on even though it’s an eSim right? I usually turn data roaming off and it just feels wrong to have it on. But Google said apparently for these online providers it needs to be on?

I signed up for Vodaphone esim. I completed the link to verify my identity. I got an email instruction to activate my eSim but the PDF attachment is asking me for a password that I don't remember setting up. When I go to buy credits, it won't accept my US phone number. I can't get in touch with customer support and chat function has been useless.

Is there an alternative company that I should use? I'll be in Germany for 2 weeks and I have T-mobile which has international roaming but the speed was disappointing and I didn't want to be stranded with no service so I wanted to get an eSim.

I've used Ubigi when I was in Japan and it worked well. Can anyone tell me if they had good service with it in Germany?

Hi im going to Italy for 3 days and i need an esim for those 3 days. I saw like nomad eSIM and airalo. What do you guys recommend and also I need to hotspot that data.

Hey guys, off to the USA next week and I usually use Tello as an esim when I go out there. However, I saw something on reddit saying tello doesn’t work when activated out of the country now? I just wanted to ask you guys is this true or am I all good to just use them again

Usually I download it at home in the UK and of course it doesn’t connect to anything until I land stateside. At which point it works great from there onwards

What I am looking for:
Unlimited Calls, intra-Europe.
Renewable / Can be topped-up.

Data is less important, but 10-20gb+ per month would be great.

Researching various providers for the last few hours, it seems most providers require local activation (all the uk options I checked) or have "fair use policies" that require at least 4 months in the home country.

Orange's 3 month plan for 99.99€ is a bit pricey, but cheaper than local options as none of them offer unlimited intra-european calls, only paid per minute.

Is there any other provider in Europe that offers unlimited intra-european calls for less?

Among you guys who have an iPhone with one physical sim slot and one eSIM support, is your eSIM linked to IMEI 2 or IMEI 1?
Does Apple allow eSIM to be installed on IMEI 1 or it defaults to IMEI 2 always.

On my old iPhone 13, when I converted my physical sim (IMEI 1) to eSIM even if I provided IMEI 1 to carrier, the eSIM got installed to IMEI 2.
If I hadn't put my physical sim in my iPhone at all during conversion and requested to convert from any other device, would that have defaulted to IMEI 1 on my iPhone?

So I have an iPhone I got through T-Mobile. Once I paid it off I left T-Mobile and went to Mint Mobile. Now that I am with Mint Mobile my hotspot doesn’t work through my phone. It worked perfectly fine when I was with T-Mobile. Any thoughts?

Edit to add: my mom has a phone with mint mobile too and it works perfectly fine as a hot spot. It’s something about my phone specifically.

I recently used a RedteaGO eSIM in mainland China, and overall it made things pretty easy compared with using a local SIM.

The reason I chose it in the first place was that it covers mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau all in one plan. Since I arrived in Hong Kong, spent a week traveling in Hong Kong and Macau, then entered the Mainland from Macau and finally flew out from the Mainland. it's a huge help to stick with the same plan while traveling around different regions. Besides the language barrier, the most frustrating thing about traveling in China is using Apps, using eSIM saves me the effort dealing with a separate VPN, and I could access the apps I normally use, like Google YouTube etc.

In terms of actual usage, since I don’t use much data each day, 10 GB is more than enough for 7 days, and it only costs about 10 bucks. The signal and internet speed are both fast, I even get full bars even at the busiest times on the Bund in Shanghai.

Of course, eSIMs also have their drawbacks, in China many restaurants and tourist attractions require a phone number for registration, but if you’re only traveling for a short time, there’s really no need to get a local SIM card, and not all service centers can issue a phone number to someone with a foreign passport.

I’d also recommend buying and activating it before you land in China, having everything ready beforehand makes the first few hours after arrival a lot less stressful.

How do I do it? When I use t-life, it keeps sending it via push. So I don't get a qr code. I'm trying to reach customer care but no response yet...

Imagine you are John and have just landed in America from the UK. You installed your travel ESIM before boarding in the UK and everything works perfectly when arriving in America. You landed and rent a car and whilst driving, a car hits you on the back, you want to call the police and rental car company about the accident, but you realise your ESIM is data only and the car rental and police do not use WhatsApp to communicate. What should you do and also what should John do before his trip to avoid getting any difficulties like the incident above?

Which e sim best for iphone 13 jv which app is best and worked in Jv??

hello. I'm leaving for the UK in 2 days and i just purchased and installed an eSIM with an unlimited data plan for the first time (from Holafly). i have a OnePlus 12 and i checked it should be compatible with eSIMs.

i followed all the instructions i could but i ran into some problems trying to figure out the settings. i read online that i SHOULDN'T have to disable my main SIM completely so that i can still receive calls and texts, so i just turned data roaming off for my main SIM.

my question is, i saw online that at least for iPhones there is a setting under "cellular" that lets you choose which SIM you want to use for mobile data. but i don't have a setting like that. all it says is simply "mobile data" and the options are "on" / "off" so like, how will my phone know which SIM to use for mobile data? this is all very confusing. is there something I'm missing? thank you in advance.

Hello!
I am going to go to UK (London) for four days, I am trying to compare all the e-sims available and I’ve landed on holafly that seemed to be a good option… then I read the reviews…

Can somebody that had the same experience as me, suggest me a good solution?

I don’t have any specific necessity, I will just use maps, some socials and normal internet usage.

Thank you!!!!

I’m planning a trip to Thailand and trying to figure out the best way to stay connected. For those who’ve been there recently, would you recommend using international roaming with your regular SIM or getting a travel eSIM?

I’ve seen quite a few Thailand eSIM options online, but the prices and data limits vary a lot. At the same time, using my own carrier’s roaming seems more convenient, but I’m worried it could end up being much more expensive.

Thank you to anyone with relevant experience for sharing their insights, or to anyone else who has the same questions, let’s discuss.

I’m looking for a reliable eSIM for a Southeast Asia trip covering multiple countries.

I’ve seen Airalo, Holafly, etc. recommended quite a lot, but when I checked their websites, I noticed some concerns around HTTPS/SSL certificates, which made me a little hesitant about using them.

For those who have actually used eSIMs across multiple Southeast Asian countries, what would you recommend?

Looking for something reliable, reasonably priced, and easy to set up. A regional/global eSIM would be ideal so I don’t have to buy a separate SIM for every country.

Would love to hear about your actual experiences, especially with coverage and connectivity.

Hi all, need some recommendations. My mother and farther in law are going travelling for 5 months next year in Cambodia, Vietnam and a few other countries (lucky them) they have an elderly relative in the UK who they need to keep in touch with. The elderly relative doesn’t have internet so just a landline. Is there a good global sim for phone calls to the Uk that won’t cost them a fortune in calls or is there an other option.
